Actual (reported)The objective of this project is to develop and implement sophisticated point-of-care Electronic Health Record (EHR)-based clinical decision support that (a) identifies and (b) prioritizes all available evidence-based treatment options to reduce a given patient's cardiovascular risk (CVR). After developing the EHR-based decision support intervention, the investigators will test its impact on CVR, the components of CVR, in a group randomized trial that includes 18 primary care clinics, 60 primary care physicians, and 18,000 adults with moderate or high CVR. This approach, if successful, will (a) improve chronic disease outcomes and reduce CVR for about 35% of the U.S. adult population, (b) maximize the clinical return on the massive investments that are increasingly being made in sophisticated outpatient EHR systems, and (c) provide a model for how to use EHR technology support to deliver "personalized medicine" in primary care settings

Actual (reported)Predicted Annual Rate of Change in 10-year Risk of Fatal or Nonfatal Heart Attack or Stroke
Ten year cardiovascular risk was calculated at each post index visit from the most recent clinical and laboratory values in the EMR. The Framingham lipid equation was used when a lipid value was available in the previous 5 years; otherwise the Framingham BMI equation was used. The primary outcome was the annualized rate of change (slope) in 10-year CVR, estimated for each treatment group from the time and time-by-treatment parameters of a mixed regression model which predicted post-index CVR values from time elapsed since index, treatment group and the time by treatment interaction.
Index to 14 months post index
The Prioritized Clinical Decision Support (CDS) intervention is a protocol driven CDS system linked within the EMR that identifies patients with high cardiovascular risk and provides tailored, prioritized decision support to the provider and patient at the point of care. The CDS was printed at intervention sites. It i) compiled most recent lab data (A1c, SBP, and LDL), BMI, smoking status, and aspirin use, (ii) calculated a 10-year risk for stroke or heart attack, (iii) prioritized clinical domains based on the absolute risk reduction for each component, (iv) compiled information related to renal and liver function, creatine kinase level, and previous diagnoses (CHF, CVD, DM), and (v) provided recommendations for intensification of therapy for A1c, SBP and/or LDL if not at goal.
Providers in the usual care arm did not have access to the prioritized clinical decision support tool.
Eighteen primary care clinics were blocked on size and on patient characteristics. Each clinic was randomly assigned to one of 2 study arms. All consenting PCPs were allocated to the study arm that their clinic was assigned to and the estimated 400 eligible adults with 10-year CVR \>= 10% under the care of each consenting physician were allocated to the same treatment arm as their PCP.

Because this study was conducted at a single, relatively high-performing medical group, generalizability of results to other care delivery systems or patient populations is uncertain.
